Since I asked in "UA7 Squad" thread 3 times without any help, let me try here. I got some blue led DRL bulbs from vled, it was supposed to be plug and play, but it didn't work and now I was told I need a harness/resistors. On vleds I believe the harness/resistor is discontinued. Anyone using blue DRLs without harness/resistors? Please point me in the right direction so I can purchase a pair.
i'm not sure if the TL's with DRL have a warning indicator for the DRL not working if the bulb output is too low (wattage/resistance). i know the MDX does, hence you would need a harness to get rid of the dash warning to trick the car into thinking you are using regular bulbs. try JLC lightings, they might have a harness for our cars.

i have an 05 so no DRL, but question for you: why are you putting BLUE LEDs in? i dont' think you are suppose to put anything other than halogens or white lights on your car for headlights, license plate lights, DRL, fogs.

Yup we have had snow and 75 degree weather in the same week twice this winter. Talk about extreme.
I wish I didn't have so many kids because my wife's car would definatlely be a MDX instead of a minivan.

It was 60's today so figured I would get it done. The real test will be tomorrow in the daylight.
I carefully put it all back together to let it cure overnight and for the next 2 weeks lol. Go back to work tuesday for 14 days.
That is with 8k fogs. I need to get 3k to really set the yellow off.
Need to do research on bulbs and ballasts to see what bulbs my current ballasts will swap with.

BTW how do you guys make it in snow? I've never had to deal with any of that. Seems like a lot to deal with.

it went up since I posted that.Mine would be higher if I were able to be on while I'm at work. There are a few people here that you generally don't see on the weekends, but they are on all day M-F.
Waltah I see you lurking, question: how did you do that sweet pic with the see thru hood?
